SARATOGA COUNTY -- Any charges to be filed against the driver in a crash that killed two Shenendehowa High School students Saturday night will depend on the result of a blood test that will determine how much alcohol was in his system.

New York State Police and the Saratoga County district attorney are pressing to get the results of that test as quickly as possible. The driver's criminal culpability will depend on whether he was intoxicated.

Saratoga County District Attorney James A. Murphy III and the state police issued a joint statement Monday afternoon with an update on their investigation into the crash that killed Christopher Stewart and Deanna Rivers, both 17.

Police say Dennis Drue, 22, was driving a Volvo northbound on the Northway just past the Thaddeus Kosciusko Bridge at 10:19 p.m. Saturday when he struck an SUV driven by Stewart. Stewart and Rivers were killed and two other passengers, Matthew Hardy and Bailey Wind, were critically injured.

In a press conference Sunday, state police Capt. Steven James said a breath screening given to Drue immediately after the crash came back positive for alcohol. Those test results, however, are not admissible in court, which is why police are waiting for the blood test before filing any charges.

James said Drue could face charges of vehicular manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide.

In Monday's statement, Murphy and state police said it is still too early in the investigation to charge Drue.

"The investigation continues to determine the specifics as to what occurred Saturday night and what potential charges are available based on a thorough review of the facts and circumstances surrounding eye witness accounts, accident reconstruction reports and scientific test results," they said.

Murphy said Drue sustained an injury in the accident and "the state police thought it was prudent to get him to the hospital for treatment."

Because of the injury, no field sobriety tests were performed aside from the pre-screen breath test, which "only gives a positive-negative indication for the presence of alcohol," Murphy explained. It does not provide calibrated blood-alcohol content. "It cannot be the basis for a charge."

Drue was treated for minor injuries at Ellis Hospital following the crash and his blood was taken there. The blood is being tested at the state police crime lab in Albany. Results could take about 90 days to come back, though Murphy said he and state police investigators have requested that the tests be expedited.

Autopsies of Stewart and Rivers were performed Monday at Saratoga Hospital by Dr. Michael Sikirica, a forensic pathologist.

As of Monday evening, the two surviving victims remained at Albany Medical Center.

Hardy's condition had been upgraded to "stable," while Wind was still listed as "critical."

Murphy said Wind underwent surgery Monday and that he has been in contact with her parents.

"We think she will survive, but she has a long road of recovery ahead of her," he said.
